Seriously, someone actually wrote that in my high school yearbook. Well, they wrote, “May your summer be long and useful, like a roll of toilet paper.” I guess that’s a bit different.
So I’m an open-minded person, but I really can’t imagine why anyone would buy a roll of Valentine’s Toilet Paper. I mean, it’s cute and all, but is that really the best way to say “I love you”? Really, the message you’re sending seems to be, “your bottom is wiped with love.” But maybe that’s the message that people buying this toilet paper would be going for? Who knows.
Anyhow, Valentine’s Day is approaching, and although we’re in a recession, I can’t help but find a lot of what’s out there for V-Day to be pretty cute. I really love this heart-shaped waffle maker, I think it’s a fantastic idea to make someone heart shaped waffles and totally utilitarian too.
And although it’s pretty cheesy, I kind of like the idea behind personalized Valentine’s Day fortune cookies like this one from 1-800-Flowers. It’s cheesy but edible, so you can forget about how kitschy the gift was in a few days while you’re digesting.
What’s the best Valentine’s Day gift you’ve ever gotten? Please share…

Well my girl once gave me a poem and it was the most amazing gift I’ve ever gotten. Granted she’s a witter and the poem was nothing short of brilliant, but I still think it can translate to the nonprofessional. At its most bare it’s a work of art made by a word smith; a craftswoman applying her craft. In a recession like this one I think we can all make something. Whatever it is we’re good at, do it, and really craft something, put ourselves into it. I really think those are the best gifts of all.
